Nationwide Give Away: Tassimo T20 Brewbot

I am not a coffee drinker. However I have a love of hot chocolate and certain teas. And I respect how seriously people take their coffee!

So I was thrilled when Tassimo contacted me about reviewing a Tassimo T20 Brewpot. One because I knew my hot chocolate would taste much better (microwave hot chocolate just doesn’t have much of a kick). And two because it’s a really nice looking machine and it adds a little bit of class to the outdated appliances in my kitchen.

When it arrived I was not disappointed with the great appearance and small size. It fit nicely in a corner of my small kitchen. Cleaning it was very easy- the directions are simple and you just have to run a few cups of water through the system to make sure everything is clean. I am LOVING how easy it is to get a quick cup of hot water- I have some tea bags in my house and it only takes a few seconds to get a nice cup of hot water.

To brew a cup, you just remove & fill the reservoir- it holds 50 oz of water so you should be able to get 4- 11 oz cups before needing to refill. Then you pick your beverage- coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, or tea. (Hey Tassimo people- how about some apple cider!?). The machine uses T-discs that store all of the needed ingredients for these drinks- there is no steaming your own milk resulting in cleaning extra parts. Each of these discs can be used 5 times and has it’s own unique bar code which the machine reads to know what it is brewing and how to adjust the temperature, amount of water and brew time. There are multiple companies that make discs for this product so you can shop around for the best deals both online and in stores.

You can also adjust the temperature, amount of water and brew time for each beverage depending on what the drinker wants. There is also a manual setting that allows you to decrease the strength of the beverage.

So is the Tassimo Brewpot worth the price tag? If you have been brewing a full pot of coffee in your house each morning and dumping most of it down the drain- yes. If you spend more than $10 a week at Starbucks on expresso or latte- yes. If you have been considering buying a more expensive version of this machine- yes.

So want to try one yourself? The nice people at Tassimo gave me one to give to a lucky reader! And entering is very easy!

There are five ways you can enter:

1. Leave a comment on this post. Tell me which of the Tassimo T-Discs you would like the best.

2. Like A Frugal Chick on facebook. Leave a message here letting me know you did.

Good Luck!

My hubby and I love our tassimo and the french vanilla large cup is my favorite! Its make the perfect morning cup, not too little, not too much! My husbands favorite is the starbucks house blend but we hear they are discontinuing it:( he likes his coffee strong so hopefully we can find a replacement! Good Luck to All!!! Winning a brew bot would be awesome!

I like you on Facebook, I liked Saving Towards A Better Life on FB. I would love to get this for the hubby, he has been looking at this for after he retires from the navy.I would love to try the Gevalia swiss hazzlenut.

I liked you on FB, Following you on Twitter, Like Saving Towards a Better Life on FB, and Like Luxury Living Frugal Style on FB. I like the Maxwell House Morning Blend Coffee! My husband, and two of our daughters as well as myself are huge coffee drinkers! It is the only way we can get moving good is to have a few cups of coffee first thing in the morning!

My choice from the discs would be the French Vanilla

thanks wonderful giveaway

followed all the instructions for liking places on facebook and following on twitter…my favorite is hot cocoa…have been thinking about purchasing a unit either tassimo or keurig to be mainly for me and the hot cocoa or tea…would rather win one than purchase one of course…thanks for the opportunity

This would be perfect for us. Hubby drinks black coffee (yuck) and I am still on the hunt for the perfect coffee drink for me. I would love to try the Gevalia Caramel Latte Macchiato (8 Servings), 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2).

I would love to try the Starbucks Cappuccino Primo. Before I got married and had kids, I had Starbucks at least once a day. Obviously, since I began couponing, that’s one of those luxuries that simply had to go, I love my coffee and miss special coffee drinks SOOOO bad!

This machine sounds amazing! I love french vanilla cappuchino’s, but my husband doesn’t drink coffee’s so it’s not worth buying a big expensive machine. This would work for both of us because he loves tea and hot chocolate and I could have my cappuchino’s.

I love coffee and french vanilla is my favorite! With 5 kids to run around after all day every day, I need my caffine and energy! Thanks for all the hard work you do getting the coupon matchups! I love being a frugal chick!

Most of the time we make pots of coffee or tea and they end up down the drain, mostly because I’m a tea drinker and my husband is a coffee drinker. I love how you can use the disk more than once! I would try several flavors, but the Tazo Awake Black tea caught my eye and awakened my tastebuds! Thanks for the chance to win!

What a great giveaway! I didn’t realize that in this machine, the discs could be used five times, either, which is a great sell point for me, as the cost of the discs is what was keeping me away. I would definitely go for the Starbucks Latte Primo – coupled with the Foaming Milk Creamer, I can get my own cup of latte for less than 1/4 of the Starbucks cost!

I love coffee and have been wanting to purchase one of these! I think I’d try the Starbucks Latte discs first since that’s what I order at Starbucks. The Maxwell House Caramel Latte Macchiato looks great too.

I already follow you on FB, so I have added Saving Towards A Better Life & Luxury Living Frugal Style on FB as well. I am now following you on Twitter as well. Should I win, I would like to try any of the coffee flavors and I had no preference because I love coffee.

Okay, I still can’t believe you don’t like coffee. Just sad. However, I think I can overlook that here because you did a great review on the brewpot. 😉 I would like to try the Starbuck’s Latte Primo disk – but am completely intrigued that they have a foaming milk creamer disk available, too!! 🙂 Thanks for the review on this enticing product!

I am an ice coffee drinker and making only single cups in my house is the way to go. I like these flavors; Suchard Hot Chocolate, Milka Hot Chocolate and this one for making ice coffee, Maxwell House Caramel Latte Macchiato.
